Hi, Can some one please tell me if RetroKit are still selling the UPURS cable and rom ?

I have messaged RetroKit numerous times about wanting one and i get no reply? I even went on the facebook channel of the UPURS guy who developed it and supposed to still sell it ? And after a message on his facebook i get no reply ???

Can anyone help as i would really like to try the UPURS cable+rom setup

Thanks

Paul, who owns RetroKit, has been a little poorly in recent times and “the UPURS guy who developed it” doesn’t have (and has never had) a Farcebook account, let alone a “channel”! You should maybe send him a PM on here....

I think what this comes down to is that if you send MartinB a message, he might be able to give you some advice about getting hold of UPURS cables and ROMs. I can personally attest that he's really helpful!

On Retrokit.co.uk i did message Martin Barr a few times from that site with no reply. I do apologise that i fully took it that Paul was the one who developed the UPURS and understand NOW that it was Martin Barr's project.

Oh and i am not a big fan of facebook either All my family members don't even know i exist as i have no facebook account But i do have a youtube channel And i am on QRZ.Com So i do truly exist

Contact Martin
You can contact Martin Barr directly using the UPURS contact page. And that's what i did.

Don't worry
Paul is indeed PaulV and MartinB is MartinB. MartinB may or may not be real, but evidence strongly suggests he is, even without his data having been hoarded by a multinational advertising corporation.

Hello Andrew - no idea if I’m real or not but I’ll send you a PM with my email address and you can ping me on there. In essence, I can provide an UPURS cable and rom but I’m away on hols at the moment so you’re looking at two or three weeks lead-time I’m afraid. There are already two orders queued up for folk on here so it won’t be a problem to do another...

(btw - There used to be an auto-forward to me on Retro-Kit but I don’t really supply cables etc. in any quantity anymore due to Beeb project bandwidth issues.)
